REVA Air Ambulance

What REVA Air Ambulance does

REVA Air Ambulance (REVA, Inc.) is a privately held, fixed-wing aeromedical transport operator founded in 1992 and headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The company runs a fleet of 15 dedicated air ambulance aircraft configured as flying ICUs, staffed by doctors, nurses, paramedics, and respiratory therapists, with all logistics coordinated through a 24/7 communications center called the ROC. REVA serves patients and families in medical emergencies, hospital case managers arranging transfers, insurance carriers (including Medicare, Medicaid, and major commercial insurers), and travel-insurance/assistance organizations that refer cross-border evacuations. Its service portfolio spans emergency and non-emergency air ambulance, medical escort on commercial flights, medical repatriation, pediatric/NICU transport via the REVA Kids sub-brand, and ancillary private charter.

The business operates on a quote-based, pay-per-mission revenue model with insurance coordination support, supplemented by professional services for medical escort and insurance reimbursement. Go-to-market is hybrid: direct-to-consumer via 24/7 phone and website quote requests, enterprise field sales to hospitals and insurers, and channel partnerships with travel insurance, international assistance organizations (e.g., International Assistance Group), and a Global Alliance Program of 27 audited partners. Distribution is extended through strategic aviation partnerships with Directional Aviation, Flexjet, and Tropic Ocean Airways, providing access to over 150 additional aircraft. REVA holds FAA Carrier Certificates and a dense stack of accreditations (ARGUS Platinum, IS-BAO, NAAMTA, EURAMI), and was named ITIJ Air Ambulance Company of the Year in 2025. The company has no disclosed parent, no funding rounds, and is described as founder/management-owned under founder and CEO Stuart Hayman.

Broad incumbents

• Air Methods: Largest U.S. air medical transport operator with a heavy helicopter EMS focus but an established fixed-wing and rotor-wing platform. Competes with REVA for hospital system contracts and large enterprise payer relationships across the Americas.
• PHI Air Medical: Major U.S. helicopter and fixed-wing air ambulance provider serving hospital and emergency response customers. Overlaps with REVA on domestic air medical transport and long-distance interfacility transfers.
• FAA Part 135 Operators (e.g., Executive AirShare, NetJets): Large Part 135 charter operators that overlap with REVA on private aviation and medical transport adjacencies. Comparable on FAA-certified fleet operations and on demand-driven charter lift, though they primarily serve non-medical customers.

Direct peers

• Life Flight Network: Not-for-profit air medical program operating rotor-wing and fixed-wing transport across the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain West. Comparable to REVA in providing ICU-level in-flight care and inter-facility transfers, competing for similar hospital partnerships.
• MedFlight: Critical care air and ground medical transport service in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic. Provides fixed-wing and rotor-wing ambulance services similar to REVA, with comparable clinical crew configurations and hospital referral channels.
• AirMed International: U.S.-based international air ambulance and medical evacuation provider operating dedicated fixed-wing aircraft. Directly comparable to REVA on international medical repatriation, bed-to-bed service, and insurance/assistance company referral channels.
• European Air Ambulance: Luxembourg-headquartered fixed-wing air ambulance operator serving European and transatlantic missions. Direct competitor in EURAMI-accredited international medical repatriation, overlapping with REVA on transatlantic and European case volume.
• Jet Rescue Air Ambulance: Mexico-based international air ambulance provider operating dedicated fixed-wing ICU aircraft across the Americas. Competes head-to-head with REVA on Mexico/Caribbean/Central America-to-U.S. repatriation missions and pediatric/neonatal transport.
• Global Air Ambulance: U.S. operator providing international fixed-wing air ambulance and medical escort services. Comparable business model and customer mix to REVA, especially on insurance-coordinated long-distance repatriation.

Others
